Why Must We Listen To Our Opponent Over The Mic?

[Stevie Steelz]

Netherrealm, please. Why is there not an option to mute our opponents? It’s bad enough idiots want to plug their mics in just to talk during the match, can there please be an option to mute them? I don’t understand why this simple function has not been added to the game.

just open a private group chat to yourself on psn, no mic needed. that would solve this issue

I don't know why I haven't thought of this lmao.

I've been playing ranked with the sound off, it gets old having people bitch and moan constantly or hearing someone's entire life in the background lol. Will definitely do the group chat thing next time.

In KOTH you can mute, or as someone pointed out if you create a party and go in it you won't hear them talk.

What?

I'm confused too...

"Guy doesn't wanna hear ppl talk while he's playing a game? Must have a hard time getting laid."

How does this logic even exist?

I had to look up what incel means lmao. People got some weird ass insults these days. I had to look up “terf” too. What’s wrong with a good old fashioned “douchebag” or “asshole”.

My thoughts exactly, mofo works pretty well for any occasion too.

Nice subforum choice though

 

[Dreamcatcher]

If someone is being dumb 1 VS 1 I either plug in the headset and just don't wear it or just leave after the match is over. Lol

 

[Ck AeroVoid]

also you can lower your volume?

NRS is just making sure that you never forget the ESRB is a joke and anyone under the age of 10 can get their hands on this game full of evisceration and mutilation.

 

[Sazbak]

Even though you can create a private party chat to mute the opponent it's still inelegant of NRS that you have to use this workaround.
By default the mic should be off and you should be able to change this setting if you want to.(or vice-versa)

Imagine if there was no Quit button in a game's main menu and when you complain about it people tell you
"omg dude just press ctrl+alt+delete, select task manager, and exit the process...jesus people stop being a crybaby and use your brain"
Yes this is a solution but it's inelegant/unprofessional from a game developer to not include a Quit option in the menu.

I'm mad you didn't just say ALT+F4. Like, genuinely bothered.

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Ummmm EVO CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES? Yeah....This subject should definitely be moved to another forum. Just saying.

 

[Sazbak]

Maybe the OP has inside info that this year's EVO will be an online event hence the subforum choice.

 

[Professor Oak]

yea it's u

Wanna play some games later? PSN DrYukinariOhkido

 

[magandi]

it's still weird that this option is missing. why do fighting games have so many problems with online play? i really don't get it. there is always something off. when i play starcraft 2 everything is perfect.

 

[Methysan]

Hearing the salt live is the best and is long overdue. Most of the fighting games this generation don't even have voice. Without it we wouldn't have moments like this:

 

[MioTenacious]

lmao, true there should be a mute button from the launch

 

[Cheesus]

On Xbox Live I believe you can turn off in game voice chat from the dashboard. Sony lets dev's handle it in game and many do have mute options. As a game dev, I'm kinda pissed off that they didn't include the option considering how easy it is to implement. For now we have to make a private party, but lets make this conversation louder.
